Suppose that your boss must choose three employees in your office to attend a conference in Jamaica. Because all 17 of you want

to go, he decides that the only fair way is to draw names out of a hat. What is the probability that you, Anna, and Kevin are chosen? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

Answer:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total\ Employees = 17

To\ Select = 3

Required

Determine the probability of selecting You, Anna and Kevin

Assuming the selection process is fair;

Each employee has a probability of;

Probability = \frac{1}{17}

So:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = P(You) * P(Anna) * P(Kevin)

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17}

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

Find a matrix P such that PTAP orthogonally diagonalizes A. Verify that PTAP gives the proper diagonal form. (Enter each matrix
krok68 [10]

Answer:

the P matrix you are looking for is P=(1/\sqrt{2}) · [[1 1 0 0],[1 -1 0 0],[0 0 1 1],[0 0 1 -1]]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

For an orthogonal diagonalization of any matrix you have to:

1º) Find the matrix eigenvalues in a set order.

2º) Find the eigenvectors of each respective eigenvalues.

Tip: You can write the matrix A like A = P^{t} D P

3º) D is the diagonal matrix with each eigenvalue (in order) in the diagonal.

4º) Write P as the normalized eigenvectors in order (in columns).

Tip 2: Remember, P^{t}·P = I, so if A = P^{t} D P, then:

P A P^{t} = P  P^{t} D P P^{t} = I D I = D

So the P we are looking for is the P^{t} of the diagonalization.

Tip 3: In this case, A is a block matrix with null nondiagonal submatrixes, therefore its eigenvalues can be calculated by using the diagonal submatrixes. The problem is reduced to calculate the eigenvalues of A₁₁ = A ₂₂ = [[5 3],[3 5]]

Solving:

1º)the eigenvalues of A₁₁ are {8,2}, therefore the D matrix is \left[\begin{array}{cccc}8&0&0&0\\0&2&0&0\\0&0&8&0\\0&0&0&2\end{array}\right]

2º) the eigenvectors of A₁₁ are P₈= {[1 1]T} P₂= {[1 -1]T}, therefore normalizing the eigenvectors you obtain P = (1/\sqrt{2}) · [[1 1 0 0],[1 -1 0 0],[0 0 1 1],[0 0 1 -1]] (you can see that P =  P^{t} in this case).

As said in "tip 2": P A P^{t} = P  P^{t} D P P^{t} = I D I = D

So the P obtained is the one you are looking for.

Lilit [14]
I think there is a lack of information with regards to the question posted above. This may be the complete question:

Van is 75% taller than Keith. If Van's height increases by 40% while Kieth's increases only by 25%, by what percent is Van taller than Kieth now? 

We put Van at 175 and Kieth at 100 since Van is 75% taller than Keith.
When Kieth's height increased at 25%, he is now 125
When Van's height increased at 40%, he is now 245

245-125=120 and

<span><span><span>120/125</span>= .96 = 96%

The answer is 96%. I hope this helps.</span></span>
